Since we discovered the Sweet N' Cute Creations tumblr, my kids have been requesting almost everything we see there. So I made them this little bee.

Careful, Bienchen, that's not a fellow bee!

Yes, that's a bee!

I must say the bee really is cute, but while I was working on it, I grew more and more aware that bees have six legs, not four, and that this was not a bee. I added the little fur cowl for more beeity, and then I still had to worry about proportions and posture of the thing, which took me a few trials to get right. Now that it's finished, we're all pretty happy with it. And as our garden was very popular with the bees today, I took some pictures there.

Before adding the fur, you can see all the bee's parts in this pic quite well.
